PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the soul is beyond massive

the mind is terribly limited

like a very small uncertain boat

meant to be sailed upon a tranquil lake

not a seemingly endless choppy ocean

which makes me

like likely so many

feel trapped sometimes

by such said so small mind

in this unnameable process

of trying to adequately translate

the thoughts of all that my swift

and articulate soul

needs me to hear

so either by the battle of grace

or the grace of battle

such thoughts splinter off

and burn to be more finely

written

all I ask

is

for you dear Time

to please just hold the page still

a little while longer...........
